In certain topologies, it is not necessary to run a multicast routing
protocol. It is sufficient for a device to learn and proxy group
membership information and simply forward multicast packets based
upon that information. This document describes a mechanism for
forwarding based solely upon Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) membership information.
